Mumbai Indians fourth win on the trot took them to the third spot from the earlier sixth in the IPL 2025 points table
A rampant Mumbai Indians rode on Rohit Sharma's (70) second consecutive fifty to pulverise a hapless Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in their Indian Premier League match on Wednesday. Mumbai Indians' fourth win on the trot, which took them to the third spot from the earlier sixth on the points table, came after SRH posted a below-par 143/8 and Rohit making the most of the perfect batting conditions to score 70 off 46 balls (8x4s, 3x6s). MI scored 146/3 in 15.4 overs to win the match with 26 balls to spare, with Suryakumar Yadav hitting a 19-ball 40 not out (5x4s, 2x6s).
Gujarat Titan' Sai Sudharshan continues to lead the run-charts, and holds the Orange Cup with a tally of 417. GT's Prasidh Krishna holds the Purple Cap, as his 16 wickets are the most by anyone so far.
The fate of the contest was all but sealed when SRH crumbled to 35/5 following an embarrassing collapse. Despite Heinrich Klaasen's 71 and Abhinav Manohar's 43, the hosts did not have enough runs on the board to challenge MI's batting might.
The five-time winners recorded their third consecutive win while chasing, having drubbed Chennai Super Kings by nine wickets last Sunday.
It was also their second win over SRH in the season, having beaten them by four wickets last week in Mumbai.
India's Test and ODI captain Rohit announced his intentions when he hoisted an off-cutter from Pat Cummins over deep square leg fence for a six and followed it up with a four in the third over.
